With the first one we were saying it before we were even dating because we were such dear friends.
The second was about a….month into the relationship. He said it to me at an intersection as we were parting ways. He was going straight and I was turning left. He shouted out the window and I completely stopped in the middle of the intersection! Good thing it was like 3 AM and there was no one else on the road!
The third was probably a few weeks into the relationship. It was pretty bad actually. I was at a rave with some friends, ahem, on ecstasy. I called him and told him in a voicemail that I loved him. Errr, but didn’t I love everyone that night? He called me the next morning and said, “I love you, too.” I was like, what? (Didn’t have much memory of saying it), but then I recalled it. It sounds bad, that that was the first time I said it, but I really was in love with him.
Annnd the most recent, wow. I remember it happened really fast and both of us were trying to fight it because we thought we should slow down. Finally one day (it must have been like a week into the actual relationship), he was stumbling over his words a lot and finally blurted out “Fuck it. I love you.”
